Black Mantis

June 18, 2008, 4 slow mantodea had a long journey ahead of them; walk from leaf number 1 to leaf number 2. Unfortunately for them, there was a huge leap between them, which led to a huge pile of dangerous shit for the 4 mantodea!

The whole idea was Robin van Thuijl's, the big-mouthing-bassraping-Mantis. He was stubborn and had to get to the other side to make Black Mantis a succes. He asked Rik Haanen, the muscular-guitarist-Mantis, for some help. Rik was impressed by the idea and decided to join him. Rik claimed to know a lot of sinister creatures in the bushes and contacted Aaran Meusen, the Godlike-drumming-Mantis.

The 3 mantodea came to the gap between the 2 leafs. The fall was deep and the distance was far. They decided to call in Erwin Jongenelen, the "4th Mantis" for help. Erwin had to be their bridge so the other 3 mantodea could cross to the other side. When this finally worked, Erwin fell in the deep abyss. Bad luck for him, because the other 3 were too lazy to go look for him.

Black Mantis, like the 3 mantodea call themselves, didn't give up and started to make some Hard Rock on the 2nd leaf. After 3 months of Hard Rock, they found Erwin on the 2nd leaf. Hell yeah!

After a year of rocking in the bushes and other creatures, it was time for a well earned vacation. Rik went out to other fields alone of local farmers. Eventhough everything looked fine, there was 1 little problem. Some kid was playing with fireworks, and this was not what our “muscular-and-guitarplaying-Mantis” asked for! Rik got hit and got to his exploding ending!

Rik was irreplaceable and Black Mantis has therefor decided to continue with 3 Mantodea to conquer the bushes!
